Ethnic Cleansing or Ethnic Brainwashing?
The art of persuading a large group of people is all about political and social propaganda. When a country is lead to a dictatorship the main reason that not only is the person allowed to stay in power but get to that stature is usually because of propaganda and brainwashing. For instance, in Iraq there were posters and signs everywhere with Saddam Hussein's face on the front. The posters were powerful and intimidating. People are forced to be sheep and follow everything that the government tells them to do. If not, they will be killed or severely beaten. They use fear to get people to do what they want, which in many ways is terrorism. People say that most these days is the middle east attacking other countries, for instance, 9/11 in 2001, the London and Spain bombings in summer 2005, but at the same time terrorism in the middle east is happening to itself, sure the suicide and car bombs but also the more settle form of terrorism, governmental terrorism, the act of using fear to get people to do what they want.
